Role Description

At smbw, we believe our work should push and deliver beyond expectations. We are building a culture of design excellence where curiosity is paramount, creativity is expected, and every team member helps shape the practice's future. If you want to help build a design culture, contribute to meaningful projects, and grow alongside a firm pursuing ambitious goals, we would like to meet you.

We seek a designer at heart who is deeply passionate about architecture, design, art, culture, and the built environment. This individual thinks about design beyond work hours because they truly enjoy it, is collaborative, and is equally dedicated to the craft and execution as they are to the overall vision. 

What You Will Do

Advance Design Excellence: You will actively contribute to the firm's evolving design culture through precedent research, creative exploration, technology adoption, internal critiques, and collaborative design reviews.

Pursue Design Relentlessly: You will explore multiple possibilities, challenge conventional solutions, and help uncover unexpected opportunities that strengthen each project's story and identity.

Translate Stories Into Architecture: You will work closely with clients and project teams to distill project aspirations into clear design narratives that guide decision-making and shape the final outcome.

Contribute Across Disciplines: You will wear many hats, contributing to design, visualization, research, presentations, documentation, client engagement, and firm initiatives as opportunities arise.

Embrace Emerging Tools: You will leverage both traditional and emerging design tools to accelerate exploration, improve communication, and expand creative possibilities.
